Host Your Own Workshop - Crafting Group - Etc Using Our Space

If you have a group or club that needs an affordable space to meet you can reserve our clean tech table or shop workspace tables. Think of it as coworking space for makers.

We offer access to areas where dirt and noise are welcomed. Soldering irons and other crafts supplies and put off gasses which not be welcomed in public settings. Makerspace are a great place to for meetups that may require a little noise disruption or tool usage.

PLEASE! schedule ahead for a viewing as walk-ins are disruptive. We have client engagements, projects and workshops to maintain.

Hey guys, this space is the day job for many small business owners. It is difficult for us to do our jobs with folks trying to wonder in unschedule. It is also very unsafe for someone working a dangerous piece of equipment to be tapped on the shoulder. If you want a makerspace tour we ask that you schedule it in advance here. We would love to have you but please be courteous of our time and safety.

"We simply set out to make tools and equipment available. Today we have a shared economy based on personal growth, advanced knowledge, and love."

Brian Williford moderates the shop-related community. He digs designing in the virtual space those projects which can tangibly be brought to life -- creativity combined with tactile skills.
